I was not interested in becoming a classical expert, just looking merely for SOMETHING in the classical realm to add to my collection and this double CD is perfect.

This is an excellent selection of music. I listen to it every chance I get. It is great just to put in your CD player on "repeat" and allow it to soothe and inspire you for a few hours, for an evening, or an for entire day.

One reason I chose it was that I was looking for music that could simply be a nice background noise for when I'm working on things that require reading and concentration. I wanted music that would not be a distraction, and this does a good job. It is also great to listen to when doing almost anything, like even cleaning the house or doing laundry. I will admit though, that listening to the selection from Swan Lake might make you want to dance around the living room.

My daughter ( at age 17) bought this CD and played it at home. I instantly fell in love with the music. It is the most incredible music I have ever listened to. I put it on my computer so that every time I am on
-line I can listen to it.

.Agnus Dei..Music of Inner..
City Travel Guides > Classical > ( E )
from: Erato

September 24, 1996
I usually don't like these sort of "Classical Mixes" that give you snippets of work that are particularily interesting to the non-initiated. For the sake of classical music, it's far better to listen to an entire piece and appreciate it on the whole.

However, this album contains one of the best recordings of "Ave Verum Corpus" I have ever heard. Even if you are only a casual listener of classical, this performance will turn your ears inside-out. The sheer beauty of this rendition is ethereal, the synthesis of voices and strings perfect, and the conducting flawless. It conveys a good portion of the full weight of Mozart's joyful genius. If the mood is constructed just right then and there, I get tearful.

.Clockwork Orange
City Travel Guides > Classical > ( E )
by: Soundtracks & Original Casts

September 26, 1989
Besides being the soundtrack to perhaps Stanley Kubrick's best film, it also contains some great and thought-provoking music. I don't pay much attention to classical, unless it's been used in a film like this. But half of the album also has a synclavier sound from Walter/Wendy Carlos. Thus, if you enjoyed Brian Eno's Another Green World or Before And After Science, this recording might appeal to you. It is nice to hear some real classical music, however (particularly "Pomp and Circumstance"), and thus provides great listening to those who are really into the recording. But it's hard to digest in one gulp, just like the movie itself.
